Our Passover Seder and The Passover Play!

    On Thursday, the pre-k classes had a wonderful Seder. The tables were set with placemats and centerpieces created by the children. This year we are connecting Passover to Earth Day. Our placemats reflected this theme as we painted beautiful butterflies and backed them with newspaper. Our centerpieces were painted on pieces of Styrofoam, recycled from the frames for our auction masks.  The children participated in the Seder by singing the first of the 4 questions as well as all our favorite Passover songs. We want to thank everyone who helped us set up and clean up, especially our valiant soup makers!
     At Shabbat on Friday several of the teachers acted out the Passover story, giving it a special Temple Emanuel twist.  Cheryl, dressed in scuba diving gear, was the princess who found Baby Moses.   She surprised us by coming to our room for a photo opportunity.
     We want to wish everyone a Happy Passover as we begin the holiday on Monday night!
